The moment the voices of the Myriad Races faded, the clamor of heaven and earth seemed to be abruptly cut off by an invisible hand. Even the wind froze in mid-air, and the stars dimmed.
The word "kill," imbued with boundless killing intent and radiating brilliant golden light, crashed down from nothingness without hesitation or warning.
The first to bear the brunt was none other than the top expert of the Qilin Clan of the End, who possessed the bloodline of the Qilin of the End! This person was a once-in-ten-thousand-years genius of the Qilin Clan, whose physical body had been condensed to the half-step End Realm, and whose bloodline power could draw upon the power of the End of Heaven and Earth. Ordinary experts were not even ants in front of him, but in the face of this simple word "kill," they did not even have the right to struggle.
In the instant the golden light swept over, the body, soul, bloodline, and foundation of this Qilin Clan giant, as well as all traces of his existence in the world, collapsed, dissolved, and vanished in an instant! Not even a scream was heard, not even a wisp of his remnant soul was left behind, as if such a powerful being had never been born in the world.
The terrifying golden "Kill" character did not dissipate; instead, like a world-destroying furnace, it carried the supreme power to crush even half-step End Realm experts, continuing to crush the densely packed Qilin Clan disciples, elders, royalty, and top experts below.
Wherever the word "kill" passed, space shattered inch by inch, and the laws collapsed layer by layer. Whether it was an old monster who had been in seclusion for many years or a young prodigy full of vigor, whether they were wearing supreme treasure armor or activating the race's protective formation, they were all easily torn apart as if they were made of paper.
In an instant, the world changed color, the sun and moon were upside down, the sky of the Zero Realm was dyed a dazzling golden-red, and endless blood mist rose up, only to be evaporated by the power of the word "kill".
Hundreds of millions of the Qilin Clan beings perished in that instant, their chance for Samsara completely snatched away. The vast territory of the Qilin Clan was instantly transformed into a desolate wasteland.
" Ye Changge, how dare you—!!"
A deafening roar erupted from the ranks of Myriad Races, causing countless powerful figures to tremble with rage, their eyes bloodshot and their bodies shaking. Yet, beneath that furious roar lay an unconcealable deep-seated fear.
Their eyes widened as they stared intently at the golden character for "kill" still suspended in mid-air, their hearts filled with disbelief and a chill that seeped into their very bones.
One word! Just one word: kill!
He could instantly kill a Qilin expert at the half-step End Realm who possessed the bloodline of the End! He could slaughter hundreds of millions of the Qilin Clan in an instant!
This power far exceeded their understanding of realms and the common sense accumulated by Myriad Races over countless years! In front of Ye Changge, their proud bloodline, cultivation, and foundation were all fragile and vulnerable.
At that moment, the remaining top experts of the Qilin Clan made a sudden move. Several strands of the ultimate power containing the Origin the race condensed into a giant palm that could support the sky. With the determination to perish together, it slammed down on the golden character "kill".
With a deafening roar, the heavens and earth trembled, and endless shockwaves of energy Sweep Across the Eight Wastelands wilderness. The indestructible character for "kill" finally crumbled slowly under this desperate attack.
As the golden light faded, everyone's gaze turned to the gap torn open by the spatial storm. There, a middle-aged man wearing Golden Dragon robe and with long hair like a purple galaxy cascading down his back stepped out of the shattered space.
His eyes had no whites, only two deep and unfathomable purple flames. Each flash caused the laws of heaven and earth to roar. That was the supreme patriarch of the Qilin Clan —Jiuhuang!
Jiu Huang's gaze swept across the desolate territory beneath his feet, over the hundreds of millions of his people whose bones had not even been left behind, and over the powerful being from the Outer Heaven who had fallen in an instant. The purple flames around him suddenly surged, and his overwhelming rage almost set the entire Zero Realm ablaze.
He stared intently at the solitary figure in the distance, his voice hoarse and filled with grief and indignation, carrying the vicissitudes and resentment of countless years. " Ye Changge, my Qilin Clan and your Human Race have an endless history of grudges and entanglements, even if it's a blood feud, why do you still want to instigate this kind of genocide today? Why do you want to wipe us out completely?"
He watched as his people were wiped out in an instant, hundreds of millions of lives vanished into thin air. The pain of falling from the peak to the abyss almost drove him insane.
Ye Changge stood high in the Nine Heavens, his robes fluttering, his face calm and undisturbed, as if he had just crushed an ant, having just annihilated a half-step End Realm cultivator and slaughtered hundreds of millions of lives.
He spoke calmly, his voice cold and devoid of emotion, yet each word was like a knife, piercing the hearts of Myriad Races: "I am strong, you are weak. The law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, is the fundamental principle of heaven and earth, therefore you have no reason to exist."
"Rest assured, I will leave you with no hope. I will annihilate your Qilin Clan's heritage, erase all your writing, sever your final bloodline, destroy your culture and history. Everything about you will be completely wiped out from its very roots, leaving no Qilin among Myriad Races."
These words were terrifyingly calm, and appallingly cruel.
Enraged, Jiu Huang trembled violently, his eyes blazing with purple light. Pointing at Ye Changge, he roared, "Fine! Fine! Very well! Ye Changge, you so recklessly slaughter living beings, committing boundless atrocities. Aren't you afraid of bearing boundless karma, incurring divine retribution, and being punished by the Heavenly Dao?!"
In this world, karma is a sword hanging over the heads of all the powerful. Even a half-step to the End Realm would be annihilated if tainted with endless karma. But for Ye Changge, the word karma seemed to be nothing but a joke.
Upon hearing this, Ye Changge suddenly chuckled. The laughter was initially low and deep, but then grew louder and louder, more and more wild, carrying an arrogant air of looking down on the world and despising all living beings.
His eyes, sharp as knives, swept over all the powerful figures of the Myriad Races present, and he spoke each word clearly and forcefully, "I am your karma."
In a single sentence, the rules of heaven and earth were completely overturned!
He is not afraid of karma, because he himself is the end of Myriad Races, the divine punishment that Myriad Races must bear!
The moment the voice fell, the sky above Ye Changge's head churned again, and endless golden laws converged. Another killing character, even larger, more terrifying, and more condensed than before, slowly took shape. Its golden light shone in all directions, and its killing intent suppressed all ages. It was ten times, even a hundred times stronger than the previous attack!
"Rest assured, what I'm about to do goes far beyond annihilating your Qilin Clan." Ye Changge looked up at the vast sky, a near-manic excitement on his face, his eyes flashing with a world-destroying light. "Not only will I exterminate Myriad Races, completely erasing every species in this world, but I will also shatter the entire Zero Realm, crumble the foundation of heaven and earth, destroy all laws, and make all living beings, civilizations, the Great Dao, Samsara —everything in this world—completely disappear, reduced to nothingness."
Annihilate Myriad Races! Shatter the Zero Realm! Destroy heaven and earth!
Such arrogant words terrified all the powerful figures from Myriad Races present, the Rogue Cultivator watching from the sidelines, and the reclusive old monsters, leaving them utterly chilled to the bone.
They never imagined that anyone would dare to have such a rebellious and world-shaking idea, let alone that this person would actually have the ability to realize it!
"You... you madman!!" Jiu Huang was so angry that he spat out blood, having been driven to the brink by Ye Changge's outrageous words.
There's no turning back now!
" Nine Nines Return to One one, the final bloodline, ignite for me!!"
Jiu Huang let out a mournful roar, and the purple flames around him suddenly transformed into a raging sea of fire. The Qilin's ultimate bloodline within him erupted wildly at the cost of burning its Origin!
With a series of cracking sounds, the shackles on his cultivation level broke inch by inch. Originally at the seventh level of the Half-Step End Realm, he surged forward at breakneck speed, instantly climbing to the peak of the ninth level of the Half-Step End Realm!
The ultimate laws of heaven and earth converged madly upon him, his aura was terrifying to the extreme, and the entire Zero Realm trembled under his power.
Even if it meant burning his Origin, he would fight Ye Changge to the death!
"Nine Yellows, since this man has gone mad and desires to annihilate Myriad Races and shatter heaven and earth, I will not stand idly by. Today, let us join forces and destroy him together!"
Just as Jiu Huang's combat power soared to its peak, an even more ancient, terrifying, and oppressive aura suddenly descended from the deepest part of the Outer Heavens!
That aura traversed the galaxy, crushing countless ages, and was several times stronger than the Nine Yellows who burned their Origin, causing all the living beings present to prostrate themselves on the ground, trembling in fear.
"This is... Yang Zhi from Outer Heaven!!"
"It's Yang Zhi, the supreme being who has been in seclusion for a thousand years and has already reached the peak of the half-step End Realm! He has actually emerged from seclusion!!"
"A thousand years ago, Yang Zhi was already at the peak of the half-step End Realm. After a thousand years of seclusion, he has probably touched the true threshold of the End Realm!"
" With the Qilin Clan's Nine Yellows burning their Origin to the peak of the ninth level, and Ye Changge Zhi from the Outer Heavens joining forces, these two supreme experts should have a sure thing this time, right?"
A glimmer of hope ignited in the hearts of Myriad Races, as if they had grasped at the last straw.
But soon, that glimmer of hope was swallowed up by a deeper fear.
"It's hard to say... This Ye Changge is too arrogant, too bizarre. He doesn't even respect the Heavenly Dao, he's not afraid of karma, and he even dares to talk about shattering the world and destroying heaven and earth..."
"Could it be... that he truly possesses the power to destroy the heavens? Can he really do everything he says?"
The murmurs gradually subsided, and all the onlookers turned pale and trembled.
Destroy the heavens.
These two words were something they wouldn't even dare to dream of, but the man before them was about to make them a reality.
The atmosphere between heaven and earth was extremely oppressive. Two peak half-step End Realm experts confronted Ye Changge, who seemed to be destroying the world. The golden killing character above the sky slowly rotated, exuding overwhelming killing intent.
